Find all the comics!

Con: Another reminder, I’ll be at AoD (Anime on Display) in San Francisco next weekend with Ben Hsu of Dubious Company. Check out our Dubious Medusa panel at 11am on Saturday, then come by our booth to get a free sketch or buy a book or t-shirt! Also, possibly free Chocodiles!

*reads punchline and facepalms*
And you say my puns are bad, Jake, and you MAKE A TWILIGHT reference?!

Oooh. this means war. “Fang” you for the advanced warning, but you’ll find my puns can “suck”. I will come at you with “blood” in my eyes, and you will find that I can pin-“point” any puns I can think to point out (no points for doubles).

oh, these puns are just “batty”. I mean, it can sure be easy to go around “coffin” these up, and I’m “Vlad” to see such pungeon masters about, but it’ll be a “dark” night when the fun is “drained” out by overuse.

(also. Harmony of despair absolutely rocks. if you’re on PS3, my PSN is Nitron_ZX if you wanna play with another MM fan ^-^ )

I’m sure if Urano polished his armor enough it would sparkle. Would that be good enough for Marah? lol

I like the face Urano is making in my head at the sparkle question.

Side note: Love the bonus stories in the book! I just finished reading them. I actually forgot they were there and I was just thumbing through the book and was like “…I don’t remember this stuf… OH! Bonus material!” T’was awesome reading. I’m now going to get others to read it. Also, Medusa panel gets a place of special honor next to my Myth Busters poster!

………………………………………. *after reading the twilight joke decides not to read those comic next week* sorry, I really can’t stand the anne rice rejects and the confused polymorphs of twilight. No offense to the fans

so i was rereading the book again {so sue me it’s a great book} and I noticed somethings. 1 is medusa’s short hair in the back. is that a blooper or [more likely given the bangs she has } is her hair just usually covered up by snakes? 2. You used the “it’s a secret to everyone” title for the nose picking comic will you be using an original title for the glasses comic which actually says “it’s a secret to everyone” 3. Did jake forget about the events of the bonus bonus comic or will it happen to be that Jake and Marah both had runins but Life will keep them from realizing the common Aquaintance they share? 4. does the tube from charles bonus have significant plot value or is that going to be saved for a special “if we raise enough each time” bonus arc stretching over the books? 5. What kind of Airline lets “that” on board? {and dont say Delta} 6. I think i’m the first person to coin the slang that shows up in the 10,000 bonus but im not sure either way it’s an awesome bonus comic. 7.I am deadly serious about campaigning for Season 2 kickstarter. you lemme know when it happens and I wont rest untill we get some serious positive publicity. like a Celebrity endorsement. I actually know one Celebrity who might, Vic Mignogna voice actor real friendly dude I interviewed him once.8. I love the Stickers but im afraid to actually put them on something because they’re so awesome and my house sucks so much. maybe the book itself. 9. Will you be making new designs for season 2 stickers. or even a Votey on which characters she’d look good as? 10. Have you introduced Marah to cool Vampires like Spike , Angel , and others who i can’t think of cause blade was pretty cheesy and underworld is eh {in my opinion}.

1: She has some actual hair in addition o the snake hair. You can see it every now and then
2: I may change the title of “glasses”, but probably to a different Zelda reference.
3: Of you’re referring to the Ghost, Jake and Marah will talk about that eventually.
4: I haven’t decided yet.
5: Delta.
6: I think you may be right.
7: Thanks! Vic is great. I’m a big FMA fan. If you know how to reach him I;d be happy to send him a comp copy of the book.
8: Thanks!
9: I plan to do a vote for three new stickers.
10: Marah is pretty stubborn. She likes her vampires sparkly.

upon rereading AGAIN {this is why you dont drink 12 oz of Red Bull before bed kiddies} disregard number 4. and Replace it with will “Who Cares” be making another appearence?

Also I reread the Comments and Realized that I may have been behind pressuring you into making a certain reveal early and I sincerely apologize Jake. I didn’t mean to throw off your groove. I will now throw myself off the Palace Wall. SOOOOOrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!

Growing up “that bites” and “that sucks” were the only insults that could be considered vague vampire references (though they really weren’t). I’ve been trying to get “that sparkles” added to the list as the worst of the worst, but it hasn’t caught on yet.

1. I feel bad for Comic Charles because in the Bonus. the Bonus from the Government says “Poops.” instead of “fecal matter” or “Waste product” I think Jake and the Girls is influencing his vocabulary
2. “But first lets smoke!” I laughed.
3. I like how the Bonus explains why the Mermaids tried the same plan twice and with what looks like the same amount of players involved only it went poorly for them the second time.
4. Considering your comments on the bonus comic i thought youd like this {though you probably seen it before] http://e621.net/data/17/99/17999879e8d95b63133eab72fa2ee37e.png?1275790853

5. That closeup on your face in “i’m not your mother” is a bit unnerving. it almost looks bishy.

6. In book 2 will you be interviewing your fictional characters as well as your real inspirations?

1. The Bonus from the Government?
2. Yeah, smoking is pretty funny.
3. It was really weird drawing the Mermaid sequence in season 2 knowing that no one had read the bonus material from season 1 yet. Hopefully everything makes more sense now.
4. I have seen that. It’s great.
5. I’ve never been called bishy before.
6. Nah, I think I’ll stick to real people. I have some great guest artists lined up for the Season 2 break, and I want to spend more time talking to Marah, my brothers and Sisters and maybe Urano if he feels like it.

After Rereading the Book Again {Im serious people}
I have to say Charles is one of my favorite characters. for three reasons.
1. His enthusiasm in the 10 k bonus comic.
2. His impromptu “Cooking Show” I just get this mental image that despite his job sounding boring he’s really an awesome entertaining guy.
3. His bonus Comic subconcious. Despite when he awoke in the hospital his bitterness towards Medusa because of his arm being cut off. His Bonus comic shows that he has an fascination with her on some level.

Also Jake I thought that the L.M. Was actually alot bigger. Were we only seeng the top parts of it?

I Also Like Marah’s expression when Medusa suggests dumping your stuff in the toilet. Not bitterness, not excitement, Just “Why not?”

somehow i can just hear the sound of utter disappointment and conviction in medusa’s voice when she asks where Urano’s sparkles are when she hasn’t even seen or read Twilight. i did, and that is time i can never get back. i mean, crap, count Chocula is a scarier vampire than the sparkly puss from twilight.

So I reread the book again and had some thoughts on it and season 2 kickstarter.

1. Xbox /360 isn’t just for racist thirteen year olds. It’s also for lonely people like me who found ps3’s price tag too intimidating and wii too childish. I only have Xbox Live Silver so I can’t play with anyone but I don’t mind. Once you start down the Forever Alone path it grows on you like fungus.

2. In season 2 kickstarter. You should avoid telling us anything about the bonus comics. just labeling them 1 – whatever. This way we can’t put any pressure on you. and you can make a list of ideas you like for bonus comics and just use a dice to decide. Also instead of quitting at 10,000 extend the bar. 10 grand bonus , 50 grand bonus, 100 grand , 500 grand bonus, a million dollar bonus comic. If you make it all the way to a million you might have have a cartoon eye bulging jaw dropping. but if you only get to 15 thousand or so youd know you were ready just in case.

1. I should have clarified: XBOX live is for racist 13 year olds. Maybe that’s not a fair generalization, but the horrible racist children I’ve in every XBOX live match I’ve ever played have convinced me to stay away from the system.
3. I’ll save the maps for the upcoming Magical Land of Yeld RPG.

The first time I read the typo, I automatically read ‘other’.
Later I read Otyher, and assumed it was a clan. However, then I was confused at the next part. How do they conclude that Urano is a vampire when he says “I and some of the Otyher vampires”?
Something has to be fixed, one way or another.
Either “I and some other vampires…” or “Some of us Otyher vampires” though that last one isn’t set in stone, as long as it conveys the same meaning.

So, I’m rereading some of the strips- and now I have a question. If Urano’s a vampire, and he doesn’t sparkle (thank you, Jake), does he burn up in the sunlight like traditional vampires if he takes that helmet off?
